I’m an assistant professor for computer vision and machine learning at the QUVA lab at the University of Amsterdam, where I work with Cees Snoek, Max Welling and Efstratios Gavves. My PhD was at the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at the University of Oxford where I worked with Andrea Vedaldi and Christian Rupprecht. Prior to this I studied physics at the University of Munich (LMU) and Economics in Hagen as well as a MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford. Also, I love running, the mountains ⛰️ and their combination.
